Laura was down at the Farm on Easter Weekend and we dived into my workshop and created a cutting board ... I have a very talented daugther
The finished product !!! ...
...... once we glued it up we cut a half inch strip about a third of the way over and turned the piece end to end and re-glued it in place. Then we slightly beveled the edges and added a grove on each end for handles ... we then finished it with a oil/wax compound that we import from British Columbia.

The wood cut to length, sanded and lined up. We used white maple and walnut ... started with the skinny pieces .. one of each and they are a sixteenth of an inch wide ... then increased the size by one thirty second until we reached an inch wide ... these where then put together starting with the wide maple and then the skinny walnut and finishing with the skinny maple and the wide walnut. Each of the different woods on each end are identical so when we cut a piece out through the middle and flip it the width of the wood matches exactly.
Glue up including the next few pics .... didn't get any pics of the in between steps ... sorry.
